Curr Issues Mol Biol. 2022 Nov 3;44(11):5416-5426. doi: 10.3390/cimb44110367.ABSTRACTPreviously, we reported that Sargassum horneri (Turner) C. Agardh (S. horneri) is a brown algae species that exerts anti-inflammatory activity toward murine macrophages. However, the anti-neuroinflammatory effects and the mechanism of S. horneri on microglia cells are still unknown. We investigated the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of S. horneri extract on microglia in vitro and in vivo. In the present study, we found that S. horneri was not cytotoxic to BV-2 microglia cells and it significantly decreased lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ...

Effects of antifouling compounds on the growth of macroalgae Undaria pinnatifida
Chemosphere. 2022 Nov 4:137141. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137141. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeaweeds are some of the principal primary producers of marine environments, and they are important ecological elements of coastal ecosystems. The effects of harmful chemicals on seaweeds may adversely affect coastal ecosystems, hence we aimed to develop a new phytotoxicity test using the gametophytes of a common temperate kelp species, Undaria pinnatifida (KU-1630), for widely used antifouling chemical substances Cybutryne, Diuron, Cu2+, and Zn2+. Toxicity to gametophytes of U. pinnatifida was assessed by comparing the re...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 7509: Multivariate Analysis Revealed Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction Improves Anti-Melanoma Activity of Non-Flavonoid Compounds in Indonesian Brown Algae Ethanol Extract
Eka Sunarwidhi Prasedya Indonesia has high biodiversity of algae that are under-utilised due to limitations in the processing techniques. Here, we observed the effect of two different extraction methods (cold maceration and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE)) on multiple variables of Indonesian brown algae ethanol extracts (Sargassum polycystum, Sargassum cristaefolium, Sargassum aquifolium and Turbinaria ornata). The variables observed included metabolites screening by untargeted metabolomics liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), observation of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavono...

Screening Metagenomes for Algae Cell Wall Carbohydrates Degrading Hydrolases in Enrichment Cultures
Methods Mol Biol. 2023;2555:125-137. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2795-2_9.ABSTRACTSustainable use of natural products is one of the key challenges for the future. An increasing focus is on marine organic matter, mostly algae. New biotechnological tools for processing high amounts of micro- and macroalgae are necessary for efficient industrial degradation of marine matter. Secreted glycosyl hydrolases can be enriched and tested on the specific algae cell wall polymers of all algae groups (Rhodophyta; Phaeophyceae; Chlorophyta/Charophyta). Metagenomic analyses established new possibilities to screen algae-associated microbiomes ...

Metabarcoding assessment of fungal diversity in brown algae and sponges of Mauritius
Marine fungi are largely associated with second most inhabitants of the marine ecosystem such as sponges and algae. They are important colonizers and play vital ecological roles, such as nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and symbiosis with other organisms. High throughput sequencing methods have been used successfully to reveal unknown fungal communities associated with a number of hosts particularly in the marine environment. However, the diversity of marine fungi associated with sponges and brown algae in Mauritius remains largely unknown. Traditional methods based on culturing do not provide reliable estim...

Element pattern in two dominant species of seaweed from Betsukari coastline - Mashike, Hokkaido, Japan
Environ Pollut. 2022 Oct 20:120473. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120473. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study investigated the monthly of element accumulation in seaweeds. Patterns of As, Ba, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn concentrations in dominant species of Phaeophyceae and Rhodophyceae, namely Saccharina japonica and Pterocladiella tenuis respectively, collected from the Betsukari coastline-Mashike, Hokkaido, Japan, were investigated. Our results indicated that element accumulation was more related to specific seaweed species than to their supply in seawater concentration. S. japonica was found to be an accumulato...

Biohydrogen production from brown algae fermentation: relationship between substrate reduction degree and hydrogen production
This study demonstrated that substrate with a higher reduction degree could yield higher hydrogen and showed the great application potential of brown algae fermentation for the co-production of hydrogen and butyrate.PMID:36208827 | DOI:10.1016/j.biortech.2022.128069 (Source: Bioresource Technology)
